One new attraction this year is and area called The Incandescent, where guests can enjoy drinks and some of the best local food on unique wood fire barbecues. Nearly 5,000 fireworks and a wide variety of styles of pyrotechnics all combine into an epic show timed to music. The fireworks launch from a barge in the water between the Parliament buildings and the Museum of History. If something happens with one line, they have a backup line. Roy uses two separate controllers for the show to be sure. So it’s pretty long for a 20-minute show,” says Roy. “Setup takes around three days for a show like this. Royal Pyrotechnie President Yankick Roy is orchestrating Wednesday’s opening show as well as helping the competing countries set up. It takes a lot of work and time to get it right and safe. Teams from France, Canada, Mexico and the United States will light up the sky over the next few weeks.
So we’ll be welcoming four countries in the next few days,” says Marc-Antoine Massicotte, Les Grands Feux Du Casino Lac-Leamy CEO.
“We’re happy to be back to the international competition that we know. Tonight marks the start of the 25th anniversary of the Casino du Lac-Leamy fireworks show, one of the biggest summer attractions in the capital.Īnd at the Canadian Musuem of History, they’re getting ready to put on an amazing show of light and music.
